Finding the right things to buy to deck out your offroading vehicle are very important to ensure you have everything you need for what you are after.
A BullBar is a protective device which replaces the vehicle’s original front bumper to provide more protection if the vehicle was to get in an accident. It is also very important to have as it can hold an electric recovery winch to help you if you get stuck while going offroading.
When purchasing a BullBar you need to keep in mind a few things:
- What will the added weight do to the car
- Will it affect the vehicle’s warranty?
- What material you need/will be the best for what you are doing.
- Compatibility with the accessories you have or want to have
- It won’t affect the performance of the vehicle
Roof Racks can be very useful when going offroading as you will be able to transport more gear than what you can fit in your boot. But before you have roof racks installed you will need to ensure what the loading capacity of your vehicle is to ensure your vehicle can handle the extra weight.
Suspension modifications are a must if you are adding things to your vehicle to make it more suited to offroading. If you add a roof rack or a BullBar it is likely that you will need to upgrade your suspension to ensure your vehicle doesn’t sag or drop.
Upgrading your lights is very important if you go offroading as it can be hard to see outside when you are going offroading with just your vehicle’s lights. Therefore, installing LED Driving Lights is very important as they are more energy efficient and have a better illumination then most other driving lights and they allow you to see more clearly.
If you go offroading it is important that you purchase several different recovery gears to help you get out of any sticky situation. Therefore, having a winch attached to your BullBar is good if you go offroading in a deserted area or if you go by yourself. Also having snatch straps and shackles are also important as they will ensure safety when doing a snatch recovery. It is always important to have recovery gear with you when going offroading as you never know what could happen and if you don’t have it and something does happen what are you going to do.
A dual battery system is very important if you want to add those creature comforts like a fridge as a fridge could drain the power from one battery leaving you stuck without a second battery.
